SNK Establishes KOF Studio to Advance Fighting Game Franchises

The new studio will focus on evolving iconic series like King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, and Fatal Fury, with upcoming releases already in development.

SNK has launched KOF Studio, a new internal unit dedicated to developing and evolving its fighting game franchises.
The studio's creation coincides with the 30th anniversary of The King of Fighters series, highlighting its legacy in the genre.
Upcoming projects include 'Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves,' scheduled for release in April 2025, marking the franchise's first new installment in over 25 years.
A new action RPG adaptation of the Samurai Shodown series is also in early development, with SNK actively hiring for the project.
This move aligns with SNK's broader goal to become a top 10 global publisher within the next decade, following its recent expansion into Singapore.
